    Fund for Civility, Respect and Understanding

    Summary

    The Fund for Civility, Respect and Understanding was created by Ron Barber and his family while he was recovering in the ICU following the tragic event in Tucson, Arizona on January 8, 2011. Their desire was to sustain and build upon the community response of good will, compassion and kindness. The fund works with its Advisory Board, Executive Committee, and task forces to advance the mission and is currently focused on mental and emotional health. The Fund for Civility, Respect and Understanding awards grants in the following areas:
    • Projects that educate and provide resources to combat bullying throughout the lifespan.
      • The Foundation prioritizes:
        • Interventions over awareness campaigns.
        • Programs that focus on institutional change or cultural change
        • Programs that look at the culture in which the bullying is taking place
        • Programs that work to create an optimum healthy environment for all persons
        • Programs that include one or more of the following: bystander intervention, empathy building, resiliency, problem solving, self-regulation and taking responsibility
    • Projects that target the reduction of the stigma of mental illness so that people can get the support and help that they need.
